Wichita State redshirt freshman Landry Shamet ranks high in class. The 6-4 guard from Kansas City, Mo. landed on the Missouri Valley Conference’s All-Valley first team.
Shamet is the first MVC freshman to earn All-Valley first team honors since Creighton’s Doug McDermott did it n 2011. He’s the first Shocker freshman to rank on the first team since Cleo Littleton (1951-51).
Shamet scored a career-high 23 points against Missouri State in WSU’s final regular-season game Saturday.
